Me or I?



She gave me a ticket and plenty of hell.
She gave Johnny the same kind of lecture, as well.
She gave John … she gave me … she gave John and whom?
Did you say, “John and I”? Get out! Leave the room!
Who's changing pronouns? Now what's going on?
Must we change me to I with the advent of John?
To do so would be a colossal mistake.
Shall we table this subject? It’s time for a break.
